mr. cardin: i was afraid to apply. the second point, on a more substantive matter on this debate, i just really want to point out that the requests that were made for waivers between 2000 and 2009 were from the requirement, the final requirement. they didn't seek to bring forward a demonstration program or a different way to get to the results. the difference here is that states can, should have the flexibility to be able to come in with innovative ways if they accomplish at least what we set out in law for them to accomplish. in fact, these demonstration waivers, they'll have to do better on the end result on people working. i wanted to point that out because i thought there were differences from the prior requests that were made in secretary sebelius' response. madam president, i would ask unanimous consent that the following staff of the senate finance committee be afforded privileges for the duration of the consideration of the continuing resolution: fernay dosaya, sarah butler, manda sellers, brian watt and daniel
